Stanford University linguist and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky dives into the hidden history of food.
Why do we eat toast for breakfast, and then toast to good health at dinner? What does the turkey we eat on Thanksgiving have to do with the country on the eastern Mediterranean? Can you figure out how much your dinner will cost by counting the words on the menu?
In The Language of Food, Stanford University professor and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky peels away the mysteries from the foods we think we know. Thirteen chapters evoke the joy and discovery of reading a menu dotted with the sharp-eyed annotations of a linguist.
Jurafsky points out the subtle meanings hidden in filler words like "rich" and "crispy," zeroes in on the metaphors and storytelling tropes we rely on in restaurant reviews, and charts a microuniverse of marketing language on the back of a bag of potato chips.
The fascinating journey through The Language of Food uncovers a global atlas of culinary influences. With Jurafsky's insight, words like ketchup, macaron, and even salad become living fossils that contain the patterns of early global exploration that predate our modern fusion-filled world.
From ancient recipes preserved in Sumerian song lyrics to colonial shipping routes that first connected East and West, Jurafsky paints a vibrant portrait of how our foods developed. A surprising history of culinary exchange—a sharing of ideas and culture as much as ingredients and flavors—lies just beneath the surface of our daily snacks, soups, and suppers.
Engaging and informed, Jurafsky's unique study illuminates an extraordinary network of language, history, and food. The menu is yours to enjoy.

传言Emily Dickinson喜欢吃Coconut Cake，她的诗”The Things That Can Never Come Back, Are Several”最早就写在一张coconut cake recipe的背面。 又有传言说”ketchup”来自于粤语里面的”茄汁”，这个传言为假，但距离也不远了。 前阵终于把《厨房里的...
評分 評分书中为了解释食物的流转的变化应用涉及了大量西方文化和外语词汇，如果对西方不是很了解个别的章节会变得特变晦涩难懂，像在第六章中对火鸡名称解释全篇引用了大量的外文我看了几页实在是看不明白。 不过可以看出作者的确是对吃的文化有很深刻的了解前几章对于食物的间接也很让...

要做好滿滿一桌吃的配上這本書閱讀。午飯做瞭藤椒白菜細麵，晚飯做瞭香煎三文魚和煮玉米，點心吃瞭香蕉，豆奶，夜宵烤瞭奶油哈斯麵包，就覺得讀著很幸福，nlp大佬的有趣小書
评分學術性和趣味性相當平衡的一本書，一口氣看完瞭以後覺得挺漲姿勢的，而且想去看論文裏具體怎麼操作的。。。如果時光倒流到高考填誌願，教練我想學computational linguistics（那時恐怕並沒有這個專業
评分陳曉卿推薦看的，隻能找到英文版，但還是挺實用的，比如如何看菜單，菜單裏的單詞的使用，以及長度之重要，Salad這種含鹽的詞的起源，還有ketchup來自中國，Macaroon隻有百年的曆史。Entree後麵如何發展，中國為啥沒有甜品？因為飲食結構中糖類的含量已經比較高瞭。
评分奇怪地錯覺一直認為作者是個華裔。 茶餘飯後的小故事，還挺有趣的
